On July 22nd, Gekidan EXILE's Aoyagi Sho held a release event for his first photo book, 'Gekkan MEN: Aoyagi Sho'.

The photo book features semi-nude shots of Aoyagi, who makes frequent visits to the gym to sculpt his body. "I've never taken semi-nude pictures before, so I was very nervous at first. I'm embarrassed," he commented, and shyly added, "HIRO-san messaged me when he looked at a different magazine. If possible, I don't want the members to see it."

Aoyagi's first photo book was taken from a woman's point of view. He shared, "We held the photo shoot continuously for 24-hours, so I was told that my face before and after I took off my clothes was different. After many rounds of trial-and-error with the photographer, it started getting fun towards the end. I want to do it again."

Because the photo book's theme is "light and darkness", Aoyagi was asked if he has a bilateral character. "I don't know too much about myself either, but I'd say I do," he responded.
